The job description

Tech stack. Bandgap references, precision op-amps, chopper stabilization, auto-zero, trimming and calibration, low-offset design, Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre

About the role

You will join a precision analog company designing references, amplifiers, and data-acquisition front ends where microvolts matter. The team serves instrumentation, medical, and industrial markets whose systems live or die on measurement accuracy. This role matters because precision is the product: your offset, drift, and noise numbers are printed on the datasheet front page, and customers design their systems around them. Precision specs improve slowly and expensively, so the team that compounds small gains wins over time. Customers build decade-long product lines on these parts, so stability matters as much as raw specs.

What you will achieve

Ship references and amplifiers with best-in-class offset, drift, and noise, holding datasheet limits across temperature and lifetime
Design chopper-stabilized and auto-zeroed circuits that push offset and 1/f noise below what device physics would otherwise allow
Cut temperature drift through curvature correction and compensation techniques validated across -40C to 125C characterization
Deliver trimming and calibration schemes that recover precision lost to process variation, lifting production yield on tight specs
Drive long-term stability: aging-aware design and burn-in correlation that keep parts in spec for their full rated lifetime
Own precision characterization in the lab, with measurement setups whose own noise and drift sit well below the device under test
Maintain a drift and aging database across product generations that informs design margins for future parts

What you will bring

Must-haves

2-5 years designing precision analog circuits with shipped products in instrumentation, medical, or industrial markets
Deep understanding of precision error sources: offset, drift, 1/f noise, CMRR, PSRR, and thermoelectric effects
Design experience with bandgap references, precision op-amps, or instrumentation amplifiers
Fluency in chopping, auto-zero, and correlated double sampling techniques and their artifact tradeoffs (ripple, charge injection)
Proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre, including noise, mismatch, and temperature-sweep analyses
Meticulous lab technique: low-noise measurement, thermal settling, and shielding for microvolt-level characterization
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering with an analog or precision circuits focus

Nice-to-haves

Experience with 24-bit or higher resolution signal chains and their error budgeting
Familiarity with hermetic packaging or stress effects on precision performance
Prior work on precision DACs or ADCs where INL/DNL dominate the design
